Nice curiosity

Unusual visit to the caves of Tham Nam Lod: the cave, huge, is not electrified. The tour is provided by a local Guide equipped with a portable gas lamp. The cave is very beautiful and vast, squatting in places by swallows. Some paths or stairs / ramps are very dirty and steep. Part of the route is on the water, on an almost makeshift raft. The tour is interesting, sporty and rock and roll. We spent more than 2 hours on site. A little lighting in the large cavities would be welcome.

Huge cave system and bamboo raft ride.

Beautiful scenery arriving at the caves. Stream full of fish. Need to hire a guide with a lantern to guide you through the cave. Then have a bamboo raft ride to the end of the cave. Very dark, only the lantern for light, so ,hard to take good photos. At the end of the cave, there is lots of light, so photos there are very good. Depart raft and climb some stairs, and walk around part of the cave. Very enjoyable.
